Ingredients
Instructions
- 1Slice the baguette bread on a bias using a sharp knife into about 1-inch slices. Arrange on a sheet tray. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake in a 350 degrees F oven for about 25 minutes, flipping once, or until completely toasted.
- 2To reduce the balsamic, pour it into a wide bottomed-pan. Simmer on medium-high until the mixture is thick and syrupy, about 5 minutes or so. Mixture is done when a lot of small bubbles appear when cook (instead of very large bubbles). Mixture will thicken upon cooling. Note: Reducing balsamic may create a strong aroma. Turn on an overhead fan/hood.
- 3Heat a saute pan over high heat until hot. Add the 2 Tbsp. oil (not extra virgin). Add the sliced onions and saute until the onions are translucent and caramelize, about 10 minutes. Add the sliced Kalamata olives and heat through.
- 4To assemble the crostini, slice the goat cheese into 1/4-inch slices. Place atop the toasted baguette. top with slices of Brothers-All-Natural Sliced Strawberry Fruit Crisps then the sauteed onion and olive mixture. Using a teaspoon, drizzle each crostini with the reduced balsamic. Serve
